Is any of that an actual disqualifier for running for office as a Republican?

I think at any level below Trump who has all the help from Russia, yes.

If Trump comes out for him, though, then he'll be bulletproof. Not sure that'll happen, though.

Trump has already endorsed him.... called him "Martin Luther King on steroids" even!

They're eating all our borscht, all our kielbasa, all our sauerkraut. You're not gonna have any sauerkraut left! Nobodies ever seen anything like it. Hawwwrible! 

Hold the **** up, something as holy and wonderful as kielbasa should be off limits in these discussions.

I think he's using it as an example of a holiest of holy that is being desecrated by the unclean.  But that's just my readout.

Nah, politics is basically just a bag of crap.  Kielbasa, the kielbasa from Stanley's Market, is the 8th wonder of the world.  Kielbasa shouldn't suffer the indignity of a political post.

Well, then we'll see for sure whether whatever the thing is is truly disqualifying.

sexual healing needed

So, they ran with Hershel Walker as their candidate and he had some skeletons in his closet.   The GOP really wants a black success story to the point where they try to get one without any real vetting of the candidate.

Thread... basically internal tensions / civil war within NCGOP on the last day that Robinson can withdraw with ability to replace with candidate who can earn votes under his name

Interesting. Is this maybe more of a GOP power struggle more than a juicy scandal?

There's probably a scandal somewhere in this that they are using as a pretext, but yeah, politics is afoot here.... He's a bad candidate that's dragging down everyone else running statewide, and he's sharing a ticket with Trump in a state that is a must-win.

Personally, I doubt he gets out, but I've been wrong before.

As MTU said Trump called Mark Robinson Martin Luther King on steroids. He also said he was better than MLK and called him MLK x2.

Looks like it’s trans porn.

America's moral majority. The party of family values, teaching all of us sinners how to behave.

Tim Walz: "these people are weird" 

I mean, if he's into trans porn...whatever.  Its the closeted psycho behavior over it that gets you in trouble.

It's always projection with these people too in the MAGA world and on the extreme right. Proport to be adamantly against porn and be transphobic while yourself having a thing for transgendered pornography.

On the flipside, their standard-bearer has conditioned this party away from having any sort of shame, so they really shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't listen to them.

I guess he's into Cat Juggling too

It's well known that MAGAs adore candidates that spy on women's locker rooms.  

[mtutiger]

Whether he gets out or not, they need to make sure they don't let Trump off the hook... He endorsed, called him "MLK on steroids" with his campaign knowing full well that this guy had big skeletons in his closet.
